As a user, I would expect that "Create new text file" would just create an
empty file with the ".txt" extension.

Having a white space character included on the first line is a bit annoying. It
seems like KWrite automatically strips this character when you save the file,
but if you were to open the file in Vim it would not be stripped automatically.

At most, I think maybe a newline character would make sense so that you
automatically have the file ending in a newline character when you type
something in on the first line directly after file creation, but that's all.
